There might be a way to use a custom ITreeDataDescriptor to turn every child into a "branch". Open but empty folders have a middle drop zone for dropping "into".

It needs to represent all of the pages on a given site. I already have a good working prototype using XML as the dataprovider and i have a good chunk of the drag and drop functions working well. The problem I am having is around the dragdrop handler. I need to be able to move any page to anywhere on the tree, including below (as a child of) any other page in addition to being able to reorder pages on the same level (same parent node) I can get it to do one or the other but not both at the same time. As far as I can tell, Flex doesn't recognize the difference between a drop on a node and a drop between two nodes. As I think this would solve my problem. Has anyone tackled this problem before? I basically need a simple way for my very non-technical users to drag pages for one of two operations, re-ordering within a section or moving a page to another section. This ExtJS example is almost exactly what I want my Flex tree to do http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/tree/reorder.html Except I need to treat every item on the tree as a folder. =] -- Alan Rother Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, AZCFUG.org
